You guys asked, I promised; and this is what it has come to.

"Your house is huge!"

Phil laughed at Dan's wide eyes and open, gaping mouth. He'd had many reactions to his home before. Pj had gasped and ran around, searching every room and getting lost many times; though he had been five, so it was understandable. Chris had sworn under his breath, whistled slowly and once the shock wore off, had forced Phil to give him the complete tour, dragging Pj along with him.

Dan's reaction was priceless...though it may have been just because it was Dan that had Phil watching so intensely and feeling so happy.

"If I had a pound for every time someone said that, I'd be rich."

"It seems like you're pretty rich to me, already."

"Correction: my parents are rich. This house, and everything in it; is just there way of saying 'sorry we never see you, have some inanimate objects that supposedly confess our love but don't make a dent in anything but our family.'" Phil sighed, the disappointment he felt for his parents rising inside him, a familiar feeling.

He shook his head quickly. He was not going to spend the night upset because of something he really should be used to by now.

"I'm sorry. I know what it's like to have...less than perfect parents."

"Are anyone's parents perfect?"

"No." Dan looked at Phil, the excitement having worn off; replaced instead with a sad, knowing look.

"But at least other parents care about their children enough to show their love with hugs or smiles."

Dan smiled apologetically. "Sorry, still a bit sore with my own parents."

"It's okay. I've been pissed off at my parents practically my whole life."

Dan placed a comforting hand on Phil's arm, unaware of what he was doing. Phil blushed at the contact, and Dan realised what he did.

"So, when do I get to see this famous Buffy shrine I've heard so much about?" He asked, taking his hand off Phil's arm and attempting to change the subject in a desperate attempt to save himself from any more embarrassment.

"Right now. If you would like to follow me up the stairs, you shall enter the eighth wonder of the world; my room."

Dan thought Phil was over-exaggerating. After all, eighth wonder of the world?

And yet, he was pleasantly surprised when he walked in. The room was huge, big enough to fit Dan's lounge room twice. There was a king sized bed in the middle, with a flat-screen TV on the opposite wall. Off to the right was a wall-to-wall closet, and on the left a huge window with a window seat and multiple cushions. There was a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf and a desk with a...

"Is that a Macbook Pro?" Dan asked, rushing over to the computer.

"Of course that's the first thing you notice. Yeah, got it for Christmas."

"I did also notice the posters. Though it's a bit hard to miss them; is there any section you haven't covered?"

"I think there's a spot in the corner." Phil joked.

"Your room is incredible. Am I dead?"

"No, at least I don't think so." Phil said.

"Then how am I in Heaven?"

Phil hit Dan's shoulder; but Dan was laughing too hard to notice or care.

"You're so lame." Phil shook his head, laughing despite himself.

"You love me." Dan said.

Phil's eyes widened and it took Dan a few seconds to realise what he said; but when he did, he regretted it.

"Shit, Phil. I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking..."

Phil reached up and cupped Dan's face in his left hand. Neither moved, the only sound their slightly laboured breathing.

"Forgive me if I'm not thinking now." Phil spoke softly, pressing his lips against Dan's gently.

Phil moved his lips against Dan's slowly, giving him time to pull away if he wanted; not that Dan did. Once he overcame his initial shock he kissed Phil back, wrapping his arms around Phil's neck and pulling him close. It was sloppy and slightly awkward, as most first kisses are; but neither was complaining much.

"I think I can forgive you." Dan said, his voice slightly shaky as he pulled away, his hands still wrapped around Phil's neck, though a little looser.

"That's good."

"Can I kiss you again?" Dan asked.

"Please do."

"Phil, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, you can have the last pizza slice."

"No, that's...that's not what I wanted to ask." His voice was laced with nerves, and it caught Phil's attention.

"What?"

"I really like you. And I mean, I really like you. But I've heard some...not so pleasant things; and I just want to clear everything up."

"What sort of things?" Phil asked, frowning.

"I suppose if I'm expecting you to answer my questions I need to be honest with you myself. My cousin is...Jamie." Dan winced as he heard Phil gasp.

"Yeah, I take it you know who he is. Anyway, he told me...his version of what happened with you and Jack..."

Phil's face heated up, and Dan saw a fierce fury in his eyes.

"I don't believe what he said." Dan added hurriedly. "I've gotten to know you relatively well since I've been here, and nothing he said made sense. I just want to know your side, that's all. I want to prove Jamie wrong."

Phil shook his head slowly, his hands clenching into tight fists.

"That bastard."

DAN AND PHIL STORY TIME NEXT CHAPTER (though it will be mainly Phil.)

REVIEW-REPLY THINGY!

Apoorvathechoco: No, no cliff-hanger. Though of course, it couldn't last long. I'm not even apologising for this cliff-hanger, it's fun. The wait is over, the Phan is here.

Its-real-to-us: I know, I'm on your side. How dare they?! Good, good; Pj's a lovely person, friend and as we have seen, boyfriend. Thank you very much; I'm glad you liked it.

NeverlandNat: You open your mouth and use your vocal cords to speak. Or, in this case; you put your fingers on your keyboard (or fingers on your screen) and tap the keys. I think everyone's relived. And now I can focus on their relationship; not that I'm saying everything will be smooth from now on...I think you know me better than that ;) He should not have to, no. No one should ever have to go through that. PHAN IS HERE MY DEAR, HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME NOW? (I love you too.)

Naenae00: Hello, again! Chris needed someone to tell and he trusts Pj a lot. He was also feeling guilty about hiding it from Pj; as he does care about Pj a lot. Whether he will keep his promise or not is undetermined. I'm not too sure whether we will see them or not; I'd love to sneak them in, as you said, it would create some nice drama and be a good twist. I may have to think about that one a bit. I hope this chapter was good enough.
